A vote on the contract proposal drafted by members of the Teamsters Local 597, a bus drivers' union, and Chittenden County Transportation Authority management will occur during the day today, according to Tony St. Hilaire, business agent for the Teamsters.

St. Hilaire said voting would take place throughout the day since many drivers have to work split shifts, so votes may be tallied by about 7:30 p.m. or 8 p.m. St. Hilaire declined to say where voting would take place or what his hopes for the outcome of the vote would be.
